This book breaks new ground in the perception of Central Asian history by a comparison of the archaeological evidence with Tibetan and Chinese historiographic sources as well as Sanskrit texts which have rarely been used. This work resurrects the resonances of culture, defence, sericulture, political doctrine of bhumiputra (alive to this day in Malaysia), painting, philosophy across the deep sands and thence to its flowering in the civilizations of China, Korea and Japan.
